Adam, Sarah, and I were out working on the lowest fore yard today, which is what the lowest and largest sail hangs off of on the forward mast. We were all over it. Sitting, crawling all around. I gotta say that it takes balls to do this tied to a dock at the lowest height. I still can't fathom being at the topmost yard like the topgallant or royal during a storm at night in heavy seas. In the dark. What the hell? Here's a video of us on the fore yard today. Enjoy.
